Short Weeks = Exhaustion

I don't handle three day weekends and four day work weeks well. What can I say? I thrive on routine and structure. I've been completely exhausted the last two nights which is why it's a bullet post today.

Memorial Weekend: Had a blast on three day weekend spending time the kids, eating at bbq's, lounging on the beach, and finally dusting the inches of pollen that has came in through the open windows the past couple weeks.

Tuesday: Back to school, but excited that only 7 days left. Couldn't get into my groove and by the afternoon was a space cadet. I totally needed a nap. However, I went out to dinner with the girls to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday. Chips, salsa, and a mojito...life was much better.

Wednesday: Met with a Dean at the University of Delaware to discuss a teacher education program, had a party for my student intern whose last day is tomorrow (I'm going to miss her), got my student's test score results, and found out that I'm teaching 5th grade next year. After school went to a 3 yr olds b-day party where I celebrated by getting a present of a headache. Yay. Finally made it home and went straight to bed, never mind it was 6:30pm.

So now it's Thursday and I'm praying that it goes by quickly. There will be painting occurring in my classroom this morning so I'm thinking extra coffee!!

I'll do my best to get my Walk-It Post up tonight. Hoping to vlog about my must have running equipment...Nike + so come by to say hi.

phew! It's good that you get to take some time ''off'' soon, when school is over for the summer!!Congrats on making it to 5th grade!! lolCurious about how different it will be from 3rd, and what new challenges you are looking forward to ... what's the word? To Tackle? To work on? Hopefully you know how to end this sentence :) Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is - I'm happy for you and I can't wait to hear all about the new school year when it comes!! :)yeah, I better get back to work now :P hee hee
